FEELING GOOD ABOUT THE SKIN I'M IN

i had a really fantastic principal in highschool.
very enthusiastic and encouraging - genuinely
concerned about her students. before every
assembly she would say this chant (and we would
repeat back). while looking through some old
stuff the other day i ran across this.

FEELING GOOD ABOUT THE SKIN I'M IN...

Vanilla, Chocolate, or Peachy blend...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Short ones, Tall ones, Fat ones or Thin...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Knot knee, Slew foot, Pigeon - toed in...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Brown eyes, blue eyes, gray eye hens...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Round face, Square face, Long pointed chin...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Smooth skin , Bumpy skin, Skin on mend...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Little feet , Big feet, Long enough to lend...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Inner sigh, Kinda shy, Smile that wins...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

I love me and that's no sin...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Now hug yourself and tell your friend...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Say it softly again and again...
Feeling good about the skin I'm in;

Say it once more and that's the end!
Feeling good about the skin I'm in.
